Obama accuses the Trump administration of pressuring to stop broadcasting Jimmy talk show.

Democratic congressional leaders on Thursday urged Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr to resign, citing his pressure on Disney-owned ABC to cancel "Jimmy Kimmel Live" as "an abuse of power." Former President Obama also spoke out publicly on this political controversy. He wrote on social media, "While the current Trump administration complains about 'cancel culture,' it is taking it to a dangerous new level: threatening media companies with regulatory actions to force them to silence or fire journalists and commentators they do not like."
